Dungeon, ‘Ruins of a Fallen Kingdom’.
The final boss, Queen ‘Operte Gargantua’.
This boss has complex gimmicks and threatening combos, and is a difficult boss that must be conquered through several phases.
But there is a fatal weakness gimmick,
your majesty-!
She would give up the battle if her husband and king, Florence Gargantua, was taken hostage.
No, don’t touch him, don’t touch him!
Labo, who had moved behind the king, was holding his sword to the king’s neck.
The queen screamed in anguish.
I’ll give you the key or something, so just let him go… … !
While the other guild members were wasting time, Labo, who had used ‘Shadow Step’, quickly moved behind the king.
A dark aura enveloped Labo’s sword as it touched the king’s neck.
“Don’t just talk about it. Give up the fight. Oh, and of course, give up the key.”
Okay, okay, so please… … .
The ash and flames swirling behind the queen’s back gradually died down.
Then the queen took the burnt key out of her bosom and carefully placed it on the floor.
Labo curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Labo slowly removed the sword from the king’s neck. The queen hurriedly ran over and hugged the king.
Labo designed it so that many users would ‘mistakenly’ think the King is weak. In reality, the King also constantly supplies magical power to the Queen.
Users will attack the king, but they shouldn’t.
The King’s HP is 1.
If you just brush against it, you die.
When the King dies, the Queen becomes even more enraged, her attack power increases, and patterns are added. This makes an already difficult boss even more difficult.
There is a slight advantage to having less defense, but the overall difficulty is doubled.
The real trick is, intimidation!
It is to take the king hostage and force his surrender.
You will not receive boss clear experience or item rewards, but you can proceed to the next dungeon right away.
Of course, most users will not use this gimmick since they have to farm here, but it was designed so that if it was too difficult to defeat the boss, you could at least get the dungeon clear reward.
Even just exploring the labyrinth was a difficult enough dungeon, and the queen was a particularly difficult boss.
‘From our perspective, there is no method more convenient than this… … .’
As for Labo, who had no intention of farming here for experience or items in the first place, he was proud of himself for having created this gimmick in advance.
If we had fought using the regular method, we wouldn’t have been able to win even if we died with our current party members’ specs.
Labo looked towards the group.
“Oh… … is dead.”
Everyone was looking down at Oldman, who had collapsed on the floor in a cold sweat.
Oldman, who blocked the queen’s first pattern with a shield, was tanned.
Oldman, who had the highest specs among the guild members, was able to get a one-turn kill even while guarding, so the queen’s power could be guessed.
“Don’t just watch, wake me up quickly… … .”
Oldman, who was embarrassed to have stretched out in one room, muttered quietly after remaining still for a while.
Rabo turned his gaze again and picked up the key that the queen had put down.
The key to the infinite jade
> A key with an eerie aura. It can open the entrance to the hidden secret prison of the Swallowed Kingdom, the Muganok.
At the same time, a dungeon clear message was displayed.
Dungeon: Cleared the Ruins of the Fallen Kingdom!
The symbol of clearing the dungeon, the sun was shining.
Achievements have also been achieved.
Achievement: Master of Intimidation
> Clear ‘Ruins of the Fallen Kingdom’ without killing ‘Queen-Operte Gargantua’ (1/1)
The group regrouped and prepared to leave the dungeon.
The queen, who had been sobbing while embracing the king, let out a boiling voice.
There are demons sealed in that prison. The demons who made us… … this country like this.
The queen’s eyes, looking up at Labo and his party, were filled with deep resentment… and even deeper sadness.
If we must go anyway… …kill those demons. Take the lives we were unable to take.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty.”
Labo, who was grinning, left the palace along the worn-out carpet.
“That’s why I’m going.”
The queen, who was watching the group walking down the hallway and leaving the palace, soon began to sob again.
The king was caressing the doll in his arms without knowing what was going on.
“I feel like I’ve become a bad guy… … .”
As Oasis muttered, Labo answered sharply.
“He’s a bad guy, isn’t he?”
“Oh, that’s right… … !”
“You don’t just have to be a bad guy, you have to be the worst.”
After leaving the palace, Labo headed towards the small iron gate at the back of the palace.
When I opened the iron gate, a long, burnt-out garden spread out before me, and at the end of it, a round iron gate leading to the basement was firmly shut.
“Labo said, inserting the key into the lock on the iron gate.

“Well, it took quite a while, but we’ve finally arrived at the dungeon where we’ll level up.”
Clank, clank!
He turned the key roughly and opened the lock.
Labo threw the unlocked padlock on the floor and untied the chain that bound the iron door.
“The dungeon with the worst difficulty and best rewards among Season 6 dungeons… … .”
A bone-chilling wind blew through the open door, along with a black poisonous fume.
There was also the sound of an unidentified voice whispering something.
The wind tangled the hair of the group. They rubbed their necks with goosebumps from the senseless eerieness.
Looking down at the endless abyss that stretched out below, Labo whispered affectionately as if he loved her.
“It’s ‘Muganok.’”
Dungeon: Muganok
– Risk: Extremely High
– Related Quests: 5
– Recommended level: 100
※ Caution: This dungeon is extremely difficult. Please farm enough items and form a party with multiple members before entering.
Into that darkness, Labo stepped forward without hesitation.

‘Infinite Hell’
Mujan (無間) means there is no time to rest, and in the Western Heaven language it is also called Avici Hell (阿鼻地獄).
This hell is the most painful hell, located 20,000 yojanas below the Saha world.
It is called Avici Hell because after death, one goes there and experiences constant, excruciating pain and suffering.
“… … .”
Oasis, who had been searching the meaning of ‘Mugan’ on the Internet for a while, swallowed dry saliva as he looked at these search results.
Despite its terrifying term, Muganok was surprisingly an ordinary prison.
A huge prison with cells blocked by harsh iron bars spiraling endlessly underground… …
“There are no prisoners.”
Rabbit, who had been following Labo silently for a while, asked cautiously.
It was exactly as he said. The cells were lined up endlessly, but there wasn’t a single prisoner in sight.
“There are only three prisoners here.”
Labo answered calmly and took the lead as he walked down the stairs.
“The three who destroyed the swallowed kingdom.”
“Are those three the bosses?”
“Right, it’s obvious, right?”
The spiral staircase ended. The group reached a spacious underground space.
“Fortunately, they don’t all come out at once. You just have to deal with them one by one.”
No matter how you looked at it, it was a place where the boss would appear. The group, very nervous, carefully drew their weapons.
“Gasp, gasp… … .”
A woman’s voice, struggling, could be heard from inside the space covered in darkness. As I took each step forward, the figure of my opponent was revealed.
“Hey, you… … .”
The NPC looked familiar.
Oasis opened his eyes wide.
“Your Holiness?”
It was the battle priest, the Pope Edenza Chronocide, who was clad in heavy armor and had a plump appearance that was in stark contrast to his pitiful appearance.
Oasis remembered seeing her before.
‘So, it must have been in the master’s previous quest trial… … .’
A trial given when Labo reaches level 50 and changes jobs for the second time.
I had to defeat the ‘shadow’ that copied the three legendary warriors, and at that time, I met them, although they were shadows and not the real ones.
But the Pope looked much worse than before.
His fine silver hair was disheveled and his large eyes were clouded, their guns gone.
“Adventure… …? How did you get here… … .”
The three legendary warriors were familiar NPCs to other guild members who had been steadily progressing through the story.
Although it usually only appeared in flashbacks.
As Oasis, who he thought was a friendly NPC, took a step closer, the Pope shouted and raised his hand.
“Don’t come any closer!”
“yes?”
The Pope groaned, sweat pouring down his face like rain.
“We fell for the Dark God’s scheme… … .”
“You fell for the trick? Weren’t you supposed to be out to defeat the Dark God?”
“I succeeded in defeating the Dark God Crow… …but I was struck by his curse. Ugh!”
A black aura spread out behind the Pope’s back, but was suppressed again by the holy light emanating from her body.
“The moment we defeated the Dark God, his soul escaped and took our bodies… … It was all according to his plan from the beginning! He took over our bodies… … and was going to invade Snow White… … .”
The Dark Cult had a plan to ‘eat’ the three warriors from the beginning.
As planned, the three warriors invaded the heart of the Dark Cult and were swallowed up by the Dark God’s scheme.
“When I came to my senses… … we had turned this place, the kingdom of Bethelos, into a sea of fire with our own hands… … I barely came to my senses with the power of the goddess, and with the help of the knights and the royal family… … I sealed the three of us here.”
The three demons that destroyed the continent of Betelos.
They were none other than the legendary three warriors.
The Doctor, Rabbit, and Oasis, who are fans of storytelling, reacted with surprise.
“What an interesting twist. So this is how it all connects.”
“So, does that mean all the efforts the three warriors put in were in vain?”
“It’s so cruel… … !”
On the other hand, the story skippers Cain, Oldman, and Uggle King were all pretty good.
“No, well, the story is fine, so just skip it.”
“Anyway, shouldn’t I just catch that? It’ll give me a good item, right? Huh?”
“Why is the event so long? I don’t know the content because I skipped over everything anyway. Ugh. I’m sleepy… .”
At that moment, tears flowed down from Edencha’s eyes.
“We, who were called warriors, are slaughtering innocent people with our own hands… … .”
A sorrowful voice leaked out from the corners of his lips.
“We who tried to destroy the devil have become devils! We who tried to remove the darkness have fallen into the darkness! Aaah, aaahhhh!”
The light of Eden gradually grew fainter, and the darkness leaking out from behind gradually grew stronger.
Oasis stood in front of Edencha, waving both arms.
“Your Holiness! Calm down! Take a deep breath! Take a deep breath! Okay, inhale, exhale… … .”
“Ah …
The Pope screamed.
Darkness engulfed the Holy Light. The silver armor turned to muted tones, and the white robes turned black.
The fallen Pope, Edencha Chronocide, screamed as dark light emanated from his entire body.
“Goddess! Goddess! Why have you forsaken us? Our holy war! Our asceticism! What was it all for?”
The once refreshing voice gradually became thicker and began to distort terribly.
“We have devoted our whole lives to you as your apostles, so why do you leave us to suffer in darkness…?”
Suddenly.
Suddenly, Eden Tea’s body stopped moving.
“There is only one answer.”
Immediately afterwards, a thick man’s voice flowed out from Edencha’s lips. It was a heavy-toned, yet sweet voice.
“Because even a goddess is just a puppet.”
As if to check the body he had occupied, ‘someone’ slowly moved Eden’s body.
I clenched and unclenched my fingers one by one, then raised my eyes and looked around.
“She too is just a marionette bound by the shackles of fate!”
Someone shouted, glaring straight at Labo and his party.
“I have come to resist that chain. I have come to destroy that chain. I am the master of my own destiny, the captain of my own soul. I will not yield to anyone else. I am mine alone!”
Oasis, who was momentarily at a loss for words under the pressure, asked.
“Who are you…?”
“My name is Crow.”
Smile.
With a refreshing smile, the demon who had taken over the Pope’s body spoke.
“This is the true god of this world.”
